Early outcomes and predictors of success in LATAM TAVI experiences
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Explore early outcomes and predictors of success from Latin America's evolving experience with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). This session covers innovative approaches such as transfemoral access intravascular lithotripsy compared to angioplasty, conduction disturbances with self-expandable TAVI devices, and insights from regional centers treating severe aortic...
Structural heart: demanding anatomies, difficult situations and unusual strategies
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Navigate complex structural heart interventions through this session focusing on challenging anatomies and innovative procedural strategies. Topics include orthotopic tricuspid valve replacement amidst anatomical and physiological complexities, percutaneous closure of Valsalva sinus fistula, extreme TAVI approaches for pure aortic regurgitation, management of mitral paravalvular leaks with...
TAVI in complex anatomy: high stakes and tight spaces
12 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Address the high-stakes challenges of TAVI in complex anatomical scenarios. This session discusses high-risk valve-in-valve interventions, management of delayed coronary obstruction, procedures in small annuli, and innovative bailout strategies including carotid TAVI.
Tricuspid and mitral: fine tuning diagnosis and results in transcatheter valve management
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
This session focuses on refining diagnosis and treatment outcomes in transcatheter management of tricuspid and mitral valves. Topics include assessment of pulmonary artery pressure changes post-MitraClip, 3D echocardiographic evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation severity, quantitative improvements in imaging, and insights from single-centre experiences. Additional discussions cover bicaval...
Clinical puzzles in structural interventions
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Delve into complex clinical puzzles encountered in structural heart interventions. This session presents comparative outcomes in paradoxical low flow versus high gradient severe aortic stenosis post-TAVI, explores manual and automatic CT measurement techniques, evaluates valve-in-valve procedures within mechanical valves through meta-analysis, and discusses TAVI strategies in...
